Banner & MREC ads
Banner and MREC ads are rectangular ad formats that occupy part of an app’s layout—often at the top or bottom of the screen or inline in scrollable content. They remain visible as users interact with the app, which allows uninterrupted gameplay or use, and can refresh automatically after a set period.
The following sections show you how to load, show, and hide a banner or MREC ad.

Loading a banner or MREC
To load a banner or MREC, call createBanner() or createMRec().
Pass that method your Ad Unit ID and desired ad view position:
var adUnitId:String = "«ad-unit-ID»";
public function initializeAd():void
{
AppLovinMAX.createBanner(adUnitId, AdViewPosition.BOTTOM_CENTER);
// In the case of banner ads, also set the background or background color.
// The background color is of type uint representing the hex color code of the required color.
// For example, to set a white background, set the background color to 0xFFFFFF.
AppLovinMAX.setBannerBackgroundColor(adUnitId, «background-color»);
}
var adUnitId:String = "«ad-unit-ID»";
public function initializeAd():void
{
AppLovinMAX.createMRec(adUnitId, AdViewPosition.CENTERED);
}
The complete list of position options are:
TOP_LEFTTOP_CENTERTOP_RIGHTCENTER_LEFTCENTEREDCENTER_RIGHTBOTTOM_LEFTBOTTOM_CENTERBOTTOM_RIGHT
Banners are automatically sized to 320×50 on phones or 728×90 on tablets.
MRECs are sized to 300×250 on both phones and tablets.
You can call the utility method AppLovinMAX.isTablet() to help with view sizing adjustments.
Showing and hiding a banner or MREC
To show a banner or MREC, call showBanner() or showMRec():
AppLovinMAX.showBanner(«ad-unit-ID»);
AppLovinMAX.showMRec(«ad-unit-ID»);
To hide a banner or MREC, call hideBanner() or hideMRec():
AppLovinMAX.hideBanner(«ad-unit-ID»);
